Quandry

After extensive browsing through the posts I have not seen anyone address this question. In the photo of Shaw standing in the room with the corridor containing the figures of suited SJ's, speaking from an engineering standpoint, is this after the ship has fallen onto it's side? She's alone, isn't wearing her head gear. From Alien we know this perspective is taken from the Derelict when it's lying in a horizontal position. If it's before the ship topples from it's upright position, the interior of the vessel must be completely laid out differently than the original. More importantly, if all things are maintaining a continuity, this shot would be from near the climax of the film. The derelict has come to rest it it's natural orientation and she's wandered inside. Somehow it's maintaining atmospheric integrity thus allowing her to remove her helmut. I'm sure she's about to have a face to face with something mind boggling therefore the figures behind her were just not that interesting. I have noticed that the piping on the suits changes from blue to red in different shots, for whatever reason. Can't be sure though, for all we know this could be an interior shot of the dig site on Earth. Lots of nasty bacterial organisms can fester in those temple vaults making containment gear potentially neccessary. It would make the idea of those figures being statues less of a conceit on the part of the builders I'll grant. Just anothing thing to think about I suppose.
